"This is a magnificent memoir and an impressive, courageous piece of work. I was honored to read it. It is clear that you put a great deal of time and effort into the planning, crafting, and revising of this fine book. Those qualities are evident through the readable, conversational style and, of course, the heartfelt tale itself. Your writing is clean and concise, and it doesn’t shy away from the difficult moments and emotional subject matter. I applaud your courage in facing this challenge, and I thank you for sharing your story. I hope it reaches many other people, especially those who may need guidance in face of their own challenges."
